Derby County vs West Ham: What has been said?
Rams boss Warne has given his players three days off before the game to recover for the big occasion.
“My preparations are really intense because I’m giving the guys three days off, so that’s one result,” he said.
“They need it. They are really physically beaten. That gives us two days of preparation to go into an underdog game, I think.
“Wherever we go, we have a great team, they are in great shape, we have a lot of fans and everyone speaks highly of them.
“But continuing to perform game after game is mentally difficult. And I think whoever I select can come into the West Ham game and enjoy it for what it is.
“I want them to enjoy it and not feel pressured. I want them to perform at a level that we can carry into the next game, win or lose.
“I just want a level of performance that they can be proud of.”
Paul Warne hopes his players can be proud on Monday
